Gauge 12 sts x 24 rows = 3 x 5.3” (8 x 13,5 cm) on US 10 (6 mm) needles – this is what a repeat of pattern no.1 measures when knitted in the round after blocking.
23 sts x 15 rows = 4 x 4” (10x10 cm) on US 10 / 6 mm needles in stockinette stitch in the round after blocking.
Both stitch and row gauge are crucial for this project. Make sure you achieve gauge by changing needle size if necessary.

Needles: US 10 (6 mm) 32” and/or 40” (80 and/or100 cm) circular needles for lace pattern and body or the right needle size to achieve gauge.
US 8 (5 mm) 16” and/or 24” (40 and/or 60 cm) circular needles for ribbing or the right needle size to achieve gauge.
